Abstract

111 1: Study of this reaction with 3, 3-dimethyl-2-cyclohexenone (I) under numerous conditions described in the Experimental Part has indeed resulted in the formation of sym- collidine (IV), but only in yields up to 3796. One expected reason for low yields is that the pyridines from cyclohexenones are always 2-picoline derivatives, which might be expected tu undergo further condensation with cyclohexenones. A test of this possibility, however, ...
